Looking for a way to work more effectively with all your clients? Want to help them experience permanent healing? Ready to move on from talking with clients to actually transforming their lives? Then Our EMDR Basic Trainings Are for You.

As an EMDR Therapist, you’ll be able to help clients find lasting relief from their symptoms and live more fully than ever before. EMDR Training prepares you to help your clients permanently resolve persistent problems of daily life that are rooted in complex trauma.
This is a practice-changing approach to transformational healing with EMDR Therapy. It’s your chance to master the theory and practice of EMDR with Deany Laliotis LICSW, one of the field’s most dynamic and highly regarded EMDR trainers.
Here are just a few of the things you’ll learn how to do:
Basic EMDR therapy procedures, protocols and techniques;
A full range of applications from EMDR treatment for acute trauma and PTSD to longer-term EMDR therapy for challenging clinical cases like complex trauma and dissociative disorders;
How to use EMDR therapy to treat problems of daily life such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, loneliness, anxiety, depression and addictions;
The practice of EMDR teletherapy—an essential skill for your successful practice.
This three-part, 44-hour training is approved by EMDRIA. It combines teaching and clinical video case studies as well as clinical practice sessions that give you first-hand experience of EMDR memory processing both as a clinician and from a client’s point of view.

"The best training I’ve attended in my 14 years with EMDR! I had huge insights into my clinical work as well as my own self."
"An EXCELLENT presentation and seminar! Ms. Laliotis is clearly an expert – I greatly appreciated the detail and her skill at teaching."
"Deany’s passion for her work and clients (and EMDR) is palpable. I have never attended a seminar in which the presenter was so greatly skilled and also so patient and open-minded – no question was too simple."
"I gained significantly from this training! I am eager to integrate new knowledge and awareness with my clients and to share it with my fellow therapists."
"I appreciate Deany’s experience, expertise, and enthusiasm in helping others. I’m so glad she makes time in her calendar for trainings and consultation experiences."
"The training and information was inspirational! I believe that I will be able to incorporate the information and tools into my existing skill set and start using it immediately with clients."
"I have seen Deany present several times and I continue to learn from her expertise. I love the way she relates and connects to her audience. I imagine that it is very similar to how she connects with her clients."
"Deany is very real and authentic and vulnerable in a strong way. I greatly admire and respect her. My goal is to be as good as she is at interweaving someday. She truly has a gift!"
"I’ve never seen any presenter respond to questions as kindly and effectively as Deany does. I’ve been working on understanding attachment styles and this training has given me the chance to consolidate and integrate what I know. I will do better work as a result. Thank you!"
"This workshop was a powerful and instrumental part of my professional development. It offered me profound insight into the work I do."
"The workshop was just fantastic – not just the content but the overall experience! It expanded my growth both professionally and personally. I feel like I will be a better therapist as a result."
"Deany is a phenomenal speaker, presenter, and truly a healer. It was such an honor to learn from and her transparency in her work is amazing. I will take so much from this training into my own work with clients."
"Deany is just amazing! I got a glimpse of this during my first weekend of Basic Training, but I learned so much with this workshop; going so much deeper. I had a personal breakthrough in the dyad work that will serve me well both personally and professionally."
"Amazing! I really appreciated everything, but most of all the videos, examples, and discussions about specific cases and clients. I got indispensable input that relates to my own clients and new techniques that will help in the future. It was an unbelievable experience."
"So much more than a professional training! I will absolutely leave here with so much more for my clients but I have also gained so much personally. It’s been transformative. Thank you!"
"The retreat was an excellent experience in terms of learning and personal growth. I would love to attend more of Deany’s workshops. She is a wealth of knowledge and superb presenter."
"Deany is such a gifted teacher and mentor. It was very helpful to have the opportunity to weave together in real-time what we were learning in the lectures, discussions, and videos while being facilitated and facilitating each other in dyads."
"This was amazing. I’m really glad I came to this – just what I needed to review my clinical attachment knowledge and put it in the context of the great therapeutic framework of EMDR. Deany was organized, personable, and super engaging/easy to listen to. I’ve never been to a conference where the time flew by and I felt a little sad it was ending."
"Best conference–I can’t say enough about how much I learned and what a powerful presenter and educator Deany is. The most adept clinician I’ve probably ever seen!"
"This is one of the best trainings I’ve been to! Clarity in the process is much improved for me. Thank you for what you bring to the profession and all of our clients as a result!"
"Deany is able to teach technical information with a caring and grounded feeling. I appreciate her skill and intuition – very beneficial to me and my practice."
"Most useful training I have attended in years! I feel a new sense of direction with my clients and a confidence that I will be able to apply the principles in practice."
